Hi Andy,

Most likely the seeds are derived from  the winter growing form of Paramongaia, that is the form growing at the NYBG where Marc works.  Refrigerate (do not freeze) the seed until temps cool in Sept or Oct, then sow.  I've sprouted them by floating them on water and pricking them off and planting them as they germinate (like is sometimes done with hippeastrums) and also sown them directly into pots, they work either way.  Fungicide may be advised in the latter case, in case a dud seed gets consumed by a fungus that then spreads to live seeds.  They are not difficult to grow, treat like any other winter growing geophyte.

Too much cloudy/rainy weather of late, but Iris lazica opened yesterday on a nice sunny day.

Hi Ton, thanks for the information. Do you soak the seed before you put in the 
oil? I live in the Southern California, the weather never get too cold, right 
ow the daily temp is between 55F to 75F(12C at night and 23C day time) so I am 
hinking grow the seed in house. By the way, I am not sure whether I got winter 
orm Paramongaia or summer Paramongaia, will find out later.
Best regards,
Andy

Hallo Andy
I have germinating Paramongaia seeds a few years ago in a warm greenhouse.
 am living in the Netherlands.
he temp in the green house was 22 Celcius at day and 20 Celcius at night.
he soil was good drained and I put a plastic bag over the pot. Make the
oil once moisty and than the plastic bag over the pot.
hen the seeds are germinating, the seedlings have two leaves, take the
lastic bag away. But still little bit watering the seedlings, I did spray
hem every day.
ot in the full sun.
aramongaia seedlings are growing very, very slowly, I have now 5 seedlings
bout 3 years old, the bulbs are only a half cm.
Success
Kind regards
